Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960)

Doreen: What's the black stuff you're drinking, it looks like treacle.
Arthur Seaton: Beer and stout, try a drop.
Doreen: No thanks, I think I tasted that once but it was horrible.
Arthur Seaton: I'm not a boozer either but I'm going fishing this afternoon and I like a drop beforehand.

Brenda: Somebody told me the other day they'd seen you coming out of the pictures with a young girl.
Arthur Seaton: It's a bloody lie then.
Brenda: Do you think I'm daft Arthur? I can tell you don't go on me as much as you used to .
Arthur Seaton: That isn't true Brenda, you know I like you a lot.
Brenda: I know you, I can see that a mile off.
Arthur Seaton: Not my fault if you don't believe me, is it?
Brenda: You know the trouble with you, you don't know the difference between right and rong, and I don't think you ever will.
Arthur Seaton: Maybe I won't, but I don't want anybody to teach me either.
Brenda: You'll learn one day.
Arthur Seaton: We'll see, but it's now that matters isn't it, we've still got to clear this mess up.

Arthur Seaton: It's not the first time that bastard's called me a red though. Not that I wouldn't vote communist if I thought it would get rid of blokes like him.

British rock band the Arctic Monkeys were heavily influenced by this film. The title of their debut album "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" is a direct quote from the movie, and many of the songs were inspired by Albert Finney's character. Also the art design of the album was influenced by the realist images of British working class neighborhoods and night life in "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning".
The censors were not too keen on the scene where Arthur wakes up on Sunday morning in bed with his mistress as the scene directly implies extra-marital sex, a notable first for British cinema.
Albert Finney learned to use a lathe during filming.
